These Standards of Practice for the Supervision of Domestic & Sexual Violence Attorneys arise from a trend that the Commission has noticed in recent years: attorneys representing domestic and sexual violence victims often do not have adequate supervision. In response to this concern, the Commission convened a steering committee, comprised of twenty domestic and sexual violence attorneys from across the country. Developed and peer-reviewed by supervising attorneys, these Standards offer a best practice guideline for the successful supervision of domestic and sexual violence attorneys in both legal and non-legal settings.
